点评:Unsafe for Children – The Owner’s Attitude Is Alarming
We visited Lagoona Park in Reading for my son's birthday, expecting a fun and safe experience. Instead, we had a terrifying incident that could have ended quite badly.
My son fell inside one of the water towers, evidently due to rips in the inflatable around the top — so fell inside a tall, dark, enclosed structure. He couldn’t touch the bottom and started to panic. Thank God I was right behind him to reassure him that I was there. After the incident, I raised my concerns with the owner — but he brushed them off and said he’d “check it later.” Maintenance issues like this make it hard to recommend the place at all, especially when children’s safety is at stake.
While the nearby staff were helpful and attentive — and I’m grateful for that — the real problem is the owner.
When I explained what had happened, he smiled in my face, shrugged, and said my son had “just had a bit more fun.” He showed no concern, no accountability, and no interest in improving safety. In fact, he became defensive and even aggressive, asking me what I was going to “do about it.”
His attitude was truly shocking and made it painfully clear: this is not a place that takes child safety seriously. And that should be at the heart of everything they do.
If you still decide to take your children there, do so at your own risk. Get in the water with them. Supervise them constantly. Because if something goes wrong, you won’t get support from the people who should care the most.
This could be a great place — but with an owner like that, it simply isn’t safe.
翻译:对儿童不安全——业主态度令人担忧
为了庆祝儿子的生日,我们去了雷丁的Lagoona公园,原本以为会是一次安全有趣的体验。结果却发生了一起可怕的事故,后果不堪设想。
我儿子掉进了一座水塔里,显然是因为顶部的充气装置破裂了——他掉进了一个又高又黑的封闭结构里。他摸不到底部,开始惊慌失措。幸好我就在他身后,让他放心,我在那里。事故发生后,我向业主表达了我的担忧,但他置之不理,说“以后再说”。像这样的维护问题,很难让人推荐这个地方,尤其是在孩子们的安全受到威胁的情况下。
虽然附近的工作人员都很乐于助人,也很细心——我对此心存感激——但真正的问题出在业主身上。
当我解释了发生了什么事时,他对着我笑了笑,耸了耸肩,说我儿子“只是玩得更开心了一点”。他毫无关心,毫无责任感,也丝毫没有改善安全状况的兴趣。事实上,他变得咄咄逼人,甚至咄咄逼人,问我“该怎么办”。
他的态度令人震惊,也清晰地表明了这一点:这里根本不重视儿童安全。而这应该是他们一切行动的核心。
如果你仍然决定带孩子去那里,请自行承担风险。和他们一起下水。时刻监督他们。因为如果出了问题,你将得不到那些最应该关心你的人的支持。
这地方本来可以很棒——但有这样的老板,这里根本就不安全。
